lyrics

There was once a girl on a path that did cross mine.
On one hand it seemed like a moment, the other a lifetime.
One fresh as the concords,
The other aged like wine.
She came in with the thunder - left without a sound.
I wondered where she was leaving to and where she’s headed now.
A force that calmed the storming, Dark locks falling down.
The rain came back to conquer the land the sun once dried,
Seized the hills’ hard contour and filled the valleys wide.
I tried to keep my balance,
Control my weaker side.
The sky that warned of her nearing - that’s a sky that’s clear no more.
Left hiding from the weather, and fought so hard I’m sore.
I ran out into the storming,
Until I feared no more.
High the stars are swollen above the breathless sky.
The winds and raining settled among the leveled pines. I sat and wrote an epitaph,
For a life I left behind.
And for the love she still had with her,
As she went on out of sight.
